What This Revenue Model Is
An organisation is claiming in its annual report that its workforce is AI-ready, with no verified training, no documented competency standard, and no credential to substantiate that claim, while the consultant who could build the certification that makes it provably true is writing LinkedIn posts about AI instead. The claim is already being made. The certification is what makes it real.
You certify their teams as AI-ready.

per seat, anchor
+ materials
per cohort
recurring
recertification
Organizations pay to have their people certified AI-ready in your method, then pay again to recertify as the field moves. Keeping the curriculum current is the real work, hence the Lucrative Job score.
Certification programs anchor at $1,500 to $5,000 per seat with per-cohort materials; the fast pace of AI means recertification recurs more often than in stable fields.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 certification and course data (TrainSMART/IBCT, Kajabi). AI content dates quickly, so build refresh cost into pricing.
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
